Description
Photograph of an exterior view of the Samson Rubber Company, Compton, [s.d.]. The large, low building can be seen in the background. Towers are visible on the corners of the building, and they are topped with battlement-type structures. The building has a flat roof, and several large rectangular windows can be seen along its perimeter. Smokestacks protrude from the roof, and the name of the company is painted on the side of the building at left. A water tower can be seen over the building at right. A wide road runs from the foreground at right to the background at left.
